Substitutes, budget: what the Assembly of Dimayor leaves

The Dimayor delivered a synthesis of the Extraordinary Assembly that was held on Saturday, June 27, in a virtual way with the presence of the 36 affiliated clubs, which lasted almost 11 hours.

In it, the administration’s management report was approved, A financial balance was presented with the distribution of resources for the development of the different competencies and different topics related to the resumption of Colombian professional soccer were discussed, after the approval of the protocol by the Government.

Changes in League regulations

The Assembly approved the modification of the regulations of the BetPlay 2020 League so that each team can enter 7 substitutes in the match sheet, as As far as the tournament was held, 5 places were set up for the substitute bank. This with the aim of more alternatives per club thinking about the long hiatus and the inactivity from which the players come, in addition to the application of 5 changes in 3 rounds in different leagues in the world.

No laboratory to apply the protocol

None of the laboratories nominated for the application of the Colombian soccer protocol, including the COVID-19 tests, met the requirements. For that reason This call was declared void.

“The committee that was in charge concluded the call was void, since after an exhaustive analysis of the proposals sent to the organization, none met the minimum and fundamental criteria. The committee will notify the reasons to each of the companies that submitted a proposal. Consequently, the Assembly decided to accept the recommendations of the Evaluation Committee, strictly complying with the guidelines of the National Government, “says part of the report by Dimayor.

Tournament format pending

The entity in charge of Colombian soccer mentioned that in the next extraordinary assembly the clubs will approve the formats of the different competitions such as League, Tournament, Cup and Women’s League for the rest of the year.

Weeks ago, Jorge Enrique Vélez, president of the Dimayor, commented that It is practically impossible for two tournaments to be held in the highest category because they don’t reach the times, so The proposal of a single League until the end of the year with home runs takes strength. This would also change the classification system to international competitions, but we will have to wait for what is defined in the next extraordinary assembly.

Commitment in trade agreements

“Faced with the commercial agreements that Dimayor has with third parties and in the context of the consequences derived from COVID-19, the attendees were condescending to the current situation. For this reason, they are willing to collaborate with the different brands that are directly related to the competitions organized by Dimayor. Likewise, the administration will study new proposals that in the future will enrich national football and financially empower various clubs, “added the report published on the Dimayor website.
